EarthBound - Lava Springs [HQ]Well, that's a good start.
The Stonehenge Base is a long, nasty, dangerous dungeon. Here's part of the reason why. Mook Seniors have a choice of using Freeze beta, Fire alpha, Lifeup beta, or glaring with their eerie eyes every turn. You can't catch a break.
They don't always come alone, either.
Atomic Power Robots use almost every turn "refilling a fuel supply", which completely restores the HP of one ally.
They're pretty much the only enemy in the game worth using Shit's Mirror technique on, since Shit will then pick a random party member and fully heal them every turn for the rest of the fight. They can also fire beams, but it's rare.
Oh, and they explode when they die, like trees do.
Flash gamma slightly increases the chance of instantly slaying a foe instead of making them cry.
Hey, shouldn't you be in a zoo somewhere? Starmen are Giygas's foot soldiers. They can fire beams and use Shield alpha and Magnet alpha. Sometimes they use Sudden Guts Pills, but to no avail: all Guts does for enemies is determine their chances of critical hits, and beams can't SMAAAAASH!!
Halves damage for the whole party.
As beta, but tries to strike three times.
Revives almost any status ailment, and if someone is KOed, restores them to full HP.
Ah, here we are. The "factory area".
Here and only here can you find the Starman Super, and thus here is where many games spend hours and hours fighting one after another. Starman Super, you see, has a 1/128 chance to drop the aforementioned-in-thread Sword of Kings, the only weapon that Shit can use.
Thankfully, they're easy to greenswirl for an instant victory. The Casey Bat is theoretically useful here if your attack power sucks and need a boost to the calcuations on whether you can dole out enough damage in a preemptive attack to instantly defeat an opponent, but I've never needed it for that.
The problem here is that Starman Supers are often joined in battle by regular Starmen and Atomic Power Robots, meaning even if you greenswirl you don't instantly win the fight. Those Atomic Power Robots in particular are a pain in the ass.
As gamma, but strikes four times.
As gamma, but even more likely to instantly slay opponents, with a 3/8 chance. The remaining enemies will either cry (3/8 chance), feel strange (1/8 chance), or be paralyzed (1/8 chance).
Why yes we are gaining a mighty fuckload of experience levels here why do you ask
Peekay Fire omega is a strong fire attack against one row of foes.
Gamma is already a full HP restore to one target, so omega instead restores some HP to the whole party.
I KNOW DAD I'VE BEEN IN THIS BASE FOR TWO FUCKING HOURS ALREADY WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SWORD
The most powerful Peekay attack in the game, natch. Snes is now level 75, for the record.
We're too beat up and running out of PP to continue. Better luck next time.
